The game uses a fixed-camera, third-person presentation with exploration across towns, facilities, and subterranean areas in the American Southwest. Players manage limited healing items, ammunition, and key objects while fighting mutated creatures and advancing the story. Combat allows movement, aiming, and the use of different firearms, with some encounters demanding careful spacing and timing. Aya gains experience, improves stats, and can customize weapons to suit different threats. Progress is driven by objective-based area unlocking, switches, locked doors, and environmental puzzles.
